A Republican leader and local radio personality was in jail Wednesday, accused of groping several women during "auditions" at his Salt Lake City media production company, according to charges filed Tuesday.
The allegations against E. Ozwald Balfour mirror charges made against him in 1997, when he was charged with groping a woman who answered a newspaper advertisement seeking models for a photo shoot. Charges in that case were ultimately dismissed, according to court records.
Now police say they have evidence of at least three similar assaults - and are investigating at least 12 additional allegations. Salt Lake City police spokesman Dwayne Baird said his department has also come upon evidence suggesting Balfour may have defrauded other clients who came to him for training in public relations, modeling and acting.

Balfour, who is married with six children, allegedly asked the woman if she would be interested in appearing in a children's movie. When she arrived at his office, he grabbed her by the hip and attempted to pull her shirt off, according to the charges. Balfour helped found the Utah Republican Black Assembly in 2003. Though the group was not officially recognized by the party for much of that year, it gained status after another prominent Republican, Salt Lake County Sheriff Aaron Kennard, voiced his support.

That seems counterintuitive to recent trends.

7. It's all sex and sin with these Republicans.

They are so repressed, these impulses just jump out at the oddest moments.

8. For Manly Control, he should take the Trifecta Drug Cocktail

Oxycontin + felafel + loofah.

This Kwick Kombo Kock-tail has helped many a Republican broadcast personality attain the state of "Republo-norm," which is famously immune to hypocricy.
